The IAG is actively seeking stakeholder feedback regarding a technical software “wish list.” This list includes reports and functionality that would be beneficial for users in three major categories: Time Survey Participant (TSP) Management, RMTS Reporting, and Customer Support.

If you have items you would like added to this list, please use the IAG’s feedback tool to inform the group.

Proposed legislation that would impact the SMAA program, SB 123, was discussed for possible implications to the RMTS-LEA Billing implementation.

The group discussed Louisiana’s experience with implementing a similar State Plan Amendment related to adding billing for non-IEP school nursing services.

DHCS reported that they are scheduling another follow-up meeting with CMS sometime this summer to discuss ongoing progress regarding the responses being drafted by the state to address CMS’ request for additional information (RAIs). You can view these here on the DHCS LEA Billing website.
